Despite making more money from less hours I feel inferior even simply because society expects me to. I once overheard a teacher I knew from the past say to her friends as they were leaving the store that I was "too old to still be working there" and yet if she worked full time hours at the average national wage I would earn more than her from 30 hours a week and still able to pursue other things in my free time.

Target is where snotty liberals come in shop, which are mostly upper middle class white women with their star bucks and yoga pants. Then you have the same white women but older who've settled with Chad and has kids.

But yeah Target mainly targets women, hence the bigger selection of clothes for them and female products.

I don't work back room here but I know a lot about Target and learned many things. Each item on the sales floor has a shelf quantity amount which is usually 4. You can't exceed that and the PDA will tell you that. And besides thats sales floor job pretty much not back room. Back room just unloads stock, does flexible fulfillments and their flow team at like 4 am to 9 am puts new stock on the floor.

Elderly ladies or couples are cool, I rarely get dick head ones. I don't really have much of an idea of the perfect customer except for them having manners and being generally polite.

People that come in to buy one thing and just chuck it at the counter annoy me, then they leave the money on the counter without saying shit. When you get to "Thats x please" and they just look at you then the money like "Well? Take it peasant".

Fuck off back to /pol/.

White people, middle-aged white people specifically, have an entitlement complex the size of fucking Jupiter, and they're prone to outright temper tantrums if you do anything that doesn't feed it.

Blacks will get mad and scream about shit, but most of the time they'll storm off, shout a few profanities, and that's the end of it. White people will throw a 30 minute long shitfit over something trivial, demand to speak to as many supervisors as they need to until they hear the word "free", and then do the exact same thing again next week because they know they can get away with it.

Whites are fucking garbage.

One time this bitch brought her german shepherd into the store. A meat market. She didn't understand why I told her she had to take it out and couldn't bring him back in. "He's better behaved than most people's children" well tough shit lady children don't violate every single health and safety code in the book.

Had a lady come in after christmas complaining that her prime rib was tough. She obviously overcooked it but since we're a small as fuck business who is entirely reliant on repeat customers my boss refunds her $80 dollars and goes in back and puts his hand through the wall.

One time this lady called up complaining that she was given the wrong type of chicken salad. I gave her what she ordered, but whatever, I told her to bring back the container and we'll exchange it. Bitch has the nerve to drop the scraped out container on the counter and expect me to give her a new, unpaid for container.

The worst part is I fucking did and she was out the door before I realized what happened.

I remember working in a fast food joint and they had a sign detailing what to do in case of a robbery. Give the robber what he wants, don't try to negotiate,don't be a hero, etc. I found it funny because it's basically the same way we have to treat customers.

Only thing I hate is when a customer tries to pay with two forms of tender. They pay with one, and then realize they don't have enough money.
Our computers have no way of aborting transactions or voiding items once part of the total has been paid. We can void the transaction afterwards, but I'm always afraid something will go wrong, and the customer won't get their money back.

Most supermarkets will overwork a small section of night staff which often leads to a load of stock left out back rather than out on the shelves.

I used to stock nights, on a Tuesday in February I would work through about 7-8 cages a shift which was about a comfortable amount.

Every year on the run up to Xmas they would expect you to work 18-20 cages (some of them would have broken wheels so you would break your back pulling them out to the shop floor) and then the day manager gets pissy when he realises half his stock is out back.

It's not us night peasants fault you can't afford to employ a few more fucking people for 7 euro per hour god damn.

Gift cards don't magically appear, though. Most stores you have to pay money to get the cards in the first place. Target sometimes gives free gift cards but you have to buy full priced shit to get them. So more like a coupon.

Companies actually make money off of gift cards simply because people will spend 20 dollars on a card, gift it, and the people might not use the full balance. So basically, they give 19.50 worth of stuff but were still paid the 20.

Gift cards are just a localized currency. The customer has $50 associated with the card they own, and they redeem it for tat amount, also known as paying with it.

How autistic are you?

>>25489141
Also the gift cards will get someone to definitely come into your store and likely spend more money there.

Do you guys argue with customers? I usually just give them what they want even if I know I'm not supposed to just to get them out of my face

It's like a pact that retail managers have to be as ridiculously stupid as possible when something messes up, and blame the nearest employee.

Fuck this. There's too many middle aged to old women who will grab half the store, then hand it to you saying "I don't want this... or this..."

I fucking hate those brain dead shits. It fills me with so much joy to watch those housewives balloon up into the gross tubs of lard they truly are on the inside. All the while buying box after box of cookies or cakes.

Honestly senpai, retail is a great way to grind that Charisma perk. In the past two years of retail at a dollar store and at Walmart my social anxiety is pretty much gone. I take pleasure in subtly making the customers uncomfortable now through awkward social timing and heavy eye-contact.

>"hey hows it going?"
>customer doesnt respond- target marked
>lean in closer and widen eyes "HEY, HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?"
>they look down at the floor 'oh--ohh im ok..'

>change is 98 cents
>get out the change in dimes nickles and pennies at lightnening speed before they can give me the remainder 2 cents
>"Oh im sorry, my drawers already closed ;-))"

>"Hey how are you today?"
>"Oh ive been better. Im good now that I got this toothpaste!"
>"Toothpaste! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

>Sometimes just go to hand them the receipt, but pause and zone out with my mouth open for a few seconds staring into the abyss
>the customers hand timidily reaches for it like a small cat until I 'wake up' and give it to them

Just a few examples but you get the picture. I really like my job now. I get to make people uncomfortable all day, and ive learned HOW to recognize and manipulate the circumstances in which to do so. And customers cant really complain either, there isnt really a distinguishable 'bad' thing that im doing, Im just making myself come off as the most awkward fucking cashier experience ever

I laugh at people who buy kitchen roll. They are just admitting to being clumsy or messy.

Would never laugh at people who buy toilet roll out condom. These things are needed.
>>
>>25489360

Im putting it on though.

Just like when a hot bitch comes through I put on completely different persona and I get their number.

Even if I really do have autism its almost irrelevant at this point as I can manipulate others to the point where it is or isnt seen

>>25489305
When I 100% know they're wrong I tell them they're wrong, and if they don't accept it I call over a manager to also tell them they're wrong. If it's not important or doesn't matter then I just say okay and go on with my shit.

If they tell me a price is wrong I usually have a manager price check it and come back to tell me if they were right or not. Half the time they come back and say "There was nothing on the shelf saying this was that price. The item rang up for the correct price."

Absolutely. In face to face retail I do anyway. I was commended by my first manager that my customer service was excellent because I never back down and I 'do that face' that makes people think life is pointless and what they're trying to achieve is a waste of everyones time.


I work in a call center now and mostly just give people what they want just to get them off the phone as is company policy unless they expressly ask for it then they can go fuck.

Had a call today with a woman who didn't receive some glasses she'd ordered because they were unavailable. She didn't get charged for them but she wanted compensated for dissapointment.

The best one I've dealt with remains a woman who came in with half a coffee cake and no receipt.
>I thought this was a chocolate cake I want a refund.
>... it's open and you've eaten half of it.
>No my son ate half of it before I could find out it wasn't chocolate cake. This is ridiculous... manager... I've been a customer for... I'm a close personal friend and relative of the business owner... rights... trading standards...

I'm glad to be only on phones now at least you can't smell them or have to go wash your hands after the crazy ones.

And there was a corresponding 50 dollar sale where the company gave up nothing for the gift card.
The card has value and the customer is spending that value by using it.
Youre an idiot

I'm pretty sure the card issuers are strongly encouraging retailers to use the chip readers. I heard the retailers are responsible for any fraudulent purchase if they do not mandate use of the chip readers.

Just be cheerful and no nonsense. In the shop I used to work in we had customers especially middle aged men out to impress the teen girl cashiers who would almost give us stand up performances.

I can tell when my cashier is one of you guys, and when I do, I help to make the transaction as quickly and slick as possible.

Why? Because I'm a young white heterosexual Christian man - that's why.

They should just make a store for our kind.
